📖 題組：
You might have heard the expression “raining cats and dogs.” The origin of the expression might be linked to the city of London in the 17th century. At that time, the streets of London were filled with stray animals. When the streets flooded after heavy rains, those animals, 16 cats and dogs, would be seen floating down the streets, as if they were raining down from the sky. It is unlikely to see a rain of cats and dogs in real life. 17 , in some places, there has been “rain” of fish, frogs, and other animals or objects. There are reports of strange rain with snakes, seeds, nuts, stones, and even golf balls. This actually happens more often than you think. People throughout history have been 18 by the strange rain phenomenon. Scientists can explain some strange rains though: An unusual rain of animals or objects is usually caused by a tornado. A tornado 19 things from the ground in its violent path, travels with the things for a distance, and then drops them in another spot. A small body of water such as a lake or a pond could also be 20 up into the air, along with fish and other species in there, by the tornado. This “water tornado” carries fish or frogs from a pond and “rains” them down in another place.
